New research indicates anhydrous borax improves the adhesive properties of enamel glazes, lowers energy required for melting, and enhances productivity. Learn more and download the paper.
Discover the trends shaping China’s borosilicate glass industry and learn how refined borates can keep you ahead of the curve, improving both your efficiency and sustainability.
In various borosilicate glassmaking, anhydrous borates (boron species without crystal water) such as
Dehybor bring multifaceted benefits of value-in-use (VIU). One of the most intuitive benefits is reducing glass manufacturers’ energy use.
From metallurgy to glassmaking, borates can enhance production environments where refractories play an important role. Borates fight corrosion, act as sintering agents, and help offset harmful emissions.
Heavy industry manufacturers lay the foundations on which we build our modern life. To produce their products efficiently and cost-effectively, they depend on
Dehybor as a consistent, reliable source of boric oxide.
Anhydrous boron is a more concentrated form of boron—containing 1.4 times more B
2O
3. The additional value that anhydrous products bring goes beyond the concentration difference of B

In a year when uncertainty is the rule, U.S. Borax has provided a reliable source of borates to insulation manufacturers, helping to ensure more predictable comfort and energy efficiency for homeowners.
One of the most wonderful things about metals is that once they have served a lifetime of use in one form, they can be transformed
again, making them a practical go-to material for everything from heavy industry and construction to electronics, batteries, household products, and even art.
Our team began a project to upgrade the ignition system of our furnace’s forehearth burners. The project was such a first-class example of teamwork that it won Rio Tinto’s 2019 Chief Executive Pioneering Excellence Award for Safety.
Glass is an essential product for modern living, and glass manufacturers are working to build a sustainable path for the industry’s future.
